FAN RECAP

Fan Episode Reviews (1)

A particularly brutal and hard-hitting episode, perfectly directed by Wire veteran Ernest R. Dickerson

9.3

By rockin01, Jan 04, 2008

"World goin' one way, people another, yo", says Poot. And so goes the theme of this episode: as the globe grows warmer, people's hearts have grown colder, and no one trusts anyone- often with good reason, as double and triple-crosses abound. There is the opportunistic Clay Davis, hedging his bets by playing Burrell and Carcetti against each other; the vicious Officer Walker, who breaks young Donut's fingers because he caused him extra paperwork; Herc, who uses Bubbles as a CI based on the promise that Herc will help him out, then leaves him in the lurch a second time; the school administrators, who insist on prioritizing test preparedness above the best interests of the students; Michael, whose affection for his little brother and resentment of his mother and her boyfriend turns deadly; and Omar, who circles Marlo like a hungry shark. Another beautifully executed entry in a standout season of a standout show.moreless
